Beautiful Mixer!!My first impression of this mixer was how beautiful it is. The misty blue and hobnail bowl give it a very retro feel that I love. The white accents really standout!
This is my first tilt-head model, I like how much easier bowl scraping is. My other kitchen aid is a larger model so was concerned the smaller size would have trouble keeping up. I was pleasantly surprised how powerful this mixer is! It plowed through cake batter, butter cream even dough with no problem whatsoever.
I did find I needed to back down through the speeds slowly or the motor almost seemed to grind. Although this may be something with all the head-tilt models
Overall, I am extremely happy with this mixer!

Elegant WorkladyThis KitchenAid looks as good as she works. Every person that has seen this 100 year anniversary Heritage model thinks she is just beautiful. Then they become more impressed by her strengths and abilities! From uniformly and gently blending all ingredients together for a perfect hearty meatloaf to whipping out an airy cloud of meringue that could be a fairy's envy, she performs tasks with grace and speed. The size is just right for everyday use in a family kitchen. Having a ceramic bowl adds so much versatility. Many recipes can be mixed and then baked in the same dish!

Beautiful with Great PerformanceFirst and foremost the performance of the 100 year mixer is just as great as other Kitchen Aid stand mixers, including my favorite Artisan that I've had for years. What takes this version over the top is the retro design that has been included for this limited edition. I love the color and the textured ceramic mixing bowl is easy to work with and looks amazing sitting on my kitchen counter. I normally try to store away most of my kitchen appliances, but this one is a showpiece that will stay on my counter for years to come!
Highly recommended!

What a great kitchen tool.I received this from KitchenAid to test about two weeks ago. I normally make pasta but the weather has been so warm that pasta meals were not being considered. We decided that a deli style ham salad would be great for outdoor meals so we made one. I used our food grinder attachment and ground some Plumrose ham. This mixer is so quiet that my wife who was in the next room didn't even hear me in the kitchen. I used the flex edge beater to mix the homemade relish and mayonnaise together. The ceramic bowl is easy to clean and heavy duty. It also adds a nice touch to the looks. Worked like a charm. We have a list of KitchenAid products and won't buy any other brand. Totally satisfied. Now that the weather seems to have broke pasta will be on the menu. As we will be moving to our new home in Florida in January this will look great in our larger kitchen and get plenty of use during our retirement.

incredibleThis is the most gorgeous thing I have ever owned. The color is exquisite, the white trims, the special edition knob, the ceramic hobnob bowl; I gasped when I opened the box. Early Christmas gift to myself to go with my newly renovated kitchen. Sigh. Adore.

Ceramic BowlI would really love to buy the bowl separate! It is a SEXY bowl and I think sales would be amazing if you sold it separate!
Any chance on limited time only specialty bowls sold separately! We are all about design in our kitchens!

Looks like art in my kitchen.Having a chance to use for a solid week now, I've made 3 cakes and 4 different types of bread. Really enjoyed putting it to work. But what struck me the minute I opened the box and saw it, was how elegant it was. The crisp white details against the blue, and the amazing ceramic bowl. Then in using, how quiet is was compared to other mixers I've used.

100 Year MixerI have had this mixer for a little over a week now and am very happy with the machine. The ceramic bowl is absolutely beautiful and has a bit of a nonstick quality. The bowel is a very nice size and handled a double batch of chocolate chip cookies with ease. I was also very impressed with the kneading hook when I made a batch of cinnamon twist dough. I could easily tell when the rather sticky yeast dough was kneaded enough as the dough just slipped right off of the hook. This is my second KitchenAid mixer, my first one is a model KSM90 and is 30 years old. I plan to save my old mixer and use it in our camper as it is a fine old workhorse. All of the attachments I had for my old mixer work just as well with the new one, including the stainless steel and glass bowels, and the grinder and slicer attachments. Overall I am very impressed with this new mixer. I love the color, it has a vintage vibe with a modern twist.

Love the retro look & power!I received this mixer as a tester to review it. Up until now, I have been using a Kitchenaid mixer that is well over 30 years old, I inherited it from a friends grandma :).
I have to say the retro look with the textured porcelain bowl is stunning. I happen to have an original 1950's kitchen, so it fits in well. As much as I like the look of the bowl, it is really the only thing I do not like while using the mixer, and it is the only reason I gave it a 4 star.
The bowl:
The first thing I noticed about the bowl is that it is heavy. The second thing: it is porcelain and seems fragile. I have a working kitchen, I use my mixer all the time, and I have two teens that cook & bake. Even screwing the bowl into the base and hearing the screech against the metal made me uneasy. The bowl has a pour spout, which makes it so the top can't be sealed. I make lots of bread & pastry, and after kneading the dough I just put a plate on the bowl for the rise. This will not work with the pour spout. I also found that the splatter shield did not fit on the rim. I used the bowl three times during my test period, and found that the dough (once waffles and once cake) that was mixed stayed powdery on the bottom of the bowl, except the bread dough that was kneaded.
The rest of the review is using my metal bowls. The mixer comes with a mixer hook, a dough hook, a whisk, and an additional mixer hook with a rubber "spatula" attached. That has become my favorite for mixing dough! It takes the dough right of the edge and mixes in! Keeps me from stopping the mixer, pushing it down, etc. The knead hook works great, and coming from a 30 year old machine to this was fantastic. Though my other one worked, it had a hard time kneading the dryer yeast dough, which this mixer does perfectly.
I have not tested any of the new add ons with this mixer, but did hook up my meat grinder to see if it fits and works, and it does! There are so many accessories available for this mixer, it will be your one go to machine. Perfect for a smaller kitchen with limited space. Also want to mention that my metal bowl without a handle fits right into the porcelain bowl, perfect for storage when it is not being used.
Again, Kitchenaid has killed it with efficiency and quality. The only thing I would recommend with this mixer is to purchase additional metal bowls if you do not already have some.

Daily workhorseI have owned a Professional 600 bowl-lift model for many years, so KitchenAid was already a familiar friend on my counter. I was not prepared for this smaller model to handle its tasks so well. My first few days were spent challenging the mixer to knead bread dough and the crumb inside was just as even and gorgeous as I expect from my larger model. I knew I could only push it so far but it swiftly handled a recipe that makes two full loaves of bread; about 7 cups of flour plus the other ingredients. A fine show of strength for the 325w motor, if you ask me. It has earned a spot on the counter and stands by for all of my existing hub accessories. It easily runs the KitchenAid spiralizer and the vegetable sheet cutter, and it's especially elegant with the pasta roller. The flex-edge flat beater is especially delightful. I love how it scrapes the bowl so thoroughly when mixing a cake, even a thick batter like the lemon cornmeal Bundt cake I made a few days ago. Now, let's talk about the styling of this model. I admit that I was a little unsure of the light blue and white when I first saw the photo online. Once it was in my kitchen, it was immediately endearing and charming sitting on the counter. The soft blue with the beautifully detailed hobnail ceramic bowl takes you back to the roots of KitchenAid's timeless design while calling up thoughts of your grandma's kitchen. It's a breeze to use and a beauty to behold. I'll be enjoying this gorgeous piece of timeless design and reliable craftsmanship for decades.
